Apple vs. Samsung: Apple Executive Eddy Cue wants 7-inch tablet, Steve Jobs receptive

[ThatsMeRight]

Just now:

2 PM: Forstall is shown a 2011 email from Eddy Cue, in which Cue forwarded an article that a journalist wrote about dumping the iPad after using a Galaxy Tab. Cue writes "Having used a Samsung Galaxy [Tab], i tend to agree with many of the comments below... I believe there will be a 7-inch market and we should do one. I expressed this to Steve several times since Thanksgiving and he seemed very receptive the last time."

This means Apple might have been working on a 7-inch tablet since last year. In my opinion, the chances that we'll see an iPad mini this fall are getting bigger and bigger.

Who knows for sure, it's still all speculation until Apple confirms the rumors.

I'm receptive to the idea. Credit card is warmed up and waiting...
